I'm not so sure it's true that making fun of a narcissist works on all occasions. Are they narcissists or psychopaths or both? Are they confident? What are the differences?

Narcissism vs. confidence: 5 ways to tell the difference

• Confidence and self-absorption rooted in narcissism are not the same: First, narcissism is self-focused while confidence considers the well-being of others.

• Additionally, people with traits of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) constantly crave affirmation as they are hyperaware of others’ opinions, while confident individuals don’t seek to prove themselves.

• Also, individuals with NPD traits exploit others for their benefit, while confident people strive to lift others up.

• Furthermore, people with narcissistic personality disorder can’t and won’t admit fault, while people with a healthy amount of confidence take responsibility.

• Finally, individuals with NPD traits tend to be narrow-minded and self-centered, while confident individuals look at the bigger picture.

• We all need to work at achieving a healthy degree of confidence; those with narcissistic personality disorder, though, often need to work with a mental health professional.

I disagree with bullet point 2, I don't think the cabal craves approval from others, or even cares about our opinion. They see us as cattle. Maybe they want approval from their other cabal pals though. Get them to fight with each other seems a better move.
